b INK OF the Potomac, back Of the White
House grounds and thence, when the OPP
portunlty offered, he was TO be carried to
Richmond and held as q hostage. 1t was
always believed that the moving of the
guard tent TO the west end of the walk fright
ened the conspiratOrs and thwarted their
design.
At another time, not long before this in
cident, Bourke, the veteran coachman, who
rad served through two administrations at
the White House. was taken sick A
stranger from Baltimore applied for the
place and succeeded in securing it in the
absence Of Bourke He did not hold the
place very long however, as he became so
d0mineering and important that he was in
tolerable, Bourke was reinsUated. One
night, not long after he had been dismissed,
the discharged coachman was discovered
sneaking about the stables which was soon
observed to be ON fire. The whole guard
was called out, and by great exertions saved
the Presidential coach and team, but Tad
Lincoln's pony and Col. Hays carriage
team persisted. 1t was believed that a plan
had been formed for this man to fire the
stables, and during the excitement conspir-
atols were to rush into the White House
and murder the President. Mr.. Lincoln,
however, rushed out with the rest to the
scene of the fire, and thus frustrated any at
tempt at assassination What made this
appear more evident said Mr.. Nichols,
was the fact that after the incendiary was
arrested to produced several witnesses who
were employed at Ford'S Theatre, and who
testified that he the discharged coachman)
was down in the city during the whole even
on which the fire occurred. These were the
persons who in my opinion, laid the final
conspiracy that brought Abraham Lincoln
to his grave" ALFRED SoRENsoN.

platoons. They go to pieces at faster
rate than any other set of men in the
world. Many a head was gray that did
not show a sign of age five years ago, and
man after man passed by with a careless
carriage and blase face who had not
passed so, but who looked and acted the
man of 30 years. Some of the men who
were turning gray when was boy, and
who are perhaps now 40 or 40 years Of age,
are round Shouldered, bent and querulous,
their faces white and their heads bald and
gray. They were admirably dressed their
manners easy and agreeable, and every
body knew them, but they were the old

average man-sbout-tOwn seems TO go to
pieces all at once. He is suave, well
dressed, agreeable and apparently healthy

had her Grecian jaw tied up in hand
kerchief, and one of her pearly molars
was aching away with fifteen horse
power He was pale, and little shivers
ran up and down his back.
"NOw, George, you said you would"
she observed as the dentist approached.
George turned paler yet, and his chin
wouldn't hold still to be wiped off. He
had rashly promised his daisy that if she
would consent to have that aching tooth
drawn he would have q sound molar eX-
tracted, just to prove to her that it
wouldn't hurt.
''Now, George" she continued, as she
laid aside her wrap and bonnet.
'I'n have it out in one moment" add
ed the dentist as he arranged his chair.
Would George funk? Shivers seized
him. His hair crawled. His knees
wouldn't stand still. He braced himself
and tried to smile, but his legs wobbled,
his smile went down behind his collar,
and with a groan of despair he turned and
clattered down stairs. She viii be lonely

Railroads in France.

All the French railways are "bossed"
by the government. The state is itself
railroad proprietor, and the lines which it
does not own are under its protection. 1t
fixes the tariffs and looks over all the af
fairs OF the companies. 1t does more; it
taxes every passenger. Without count
ing the privileges of government func-
tiOnarieS, and the free passes of all the
soldiers, the state draws $17, 1000, 900 every
year in taxation on the passengers. There
is a government superintendent in the
offices of the company and also one sta
toned in every large town. Such thing
as competition and opposition is thus i'm
possible There are now 1850 kilo-
meters, or $1,000 miles, of railway in
France. Every year the lines carry $780,
600, 900 passengers and S., 900, 900 tons of
merchandise. The companies employ
223, 900 men. The quantity of baggage
which each passenger is allowed free in

A CHINESE OFFICIAL DINNER.

American Minister.
There were three Chinese entertain
ments at Nan King. describe only the
one at the generals yaman, as being the
most distinctive.
Above the dais in the room was aquiver
Of paper cases varying in length. 1t was
explained that when the general sent to a
prisoner long one it meant death SEN
tence; when he sent short one 1t meant
bastinadoing. In the center of the room
a table without cover was set with bowls,
chopsticks and the tiny Chinese cups. AT
the last moment it was found that knives
and forks were forgotten, and Capt. Miller
sent to the ship for some Of his own.
When they came the dinner-at which
Capt. Miller, the general, the Taotai, the
INTERPRETER. and / were preSent-com-
menced. There were bowls for the cap
tain ana me, but only chopsticks and
short porcelain spoons for the others.
A large bowl was put in the center of
the table, into which the general put a
spoon. and, rising as he did so, deposited
some of the contents in our bowls. We
rose TO acknowledge the courtesy. After
we were helped, the others helped them
selves with their spoons and conveyed the
contents TO their mouths. This process
continued through an innumerable num-
Der of diShes-birds' nests, sharks fins,
sharks lips, bamboo shoots, ETC., with
chicken, duck, pork, mutton, etc. There
were Chinese wines supplied by attendants
who sedulously filed the cups. At in
tervals the attendant brought to the
guests a damp cloth, with which the faces
were inoistened. Pipes and cigarettes
wCce smoked between the courses. l
noticed at the Union club in New York
and the Bohemian in San Francisco the
same custom prevailed. After time the
table became much disfigured with the
various gravieS which dropped from the
spoons and chopsticks, and occasionally
servant wiped il with a cloth. The dinnei
went on through two hours, and new
bowls of fresh meats and soups seemed
never ending.
/ finally suggested 20 the general that
could eat no more. but if he would keep
the balance until came back in two
years from now l would do the best l
could This sally was received with
laughter and ended the feast. Dishes
were brought adj infiIstum until you abso-

and fun at this dinner. / told Charles

which was received with shouts of laugh
